Length calculations may be obtained for any line segment, polygon side or vector. Distance calculations are available between two points, or the perpendicular distance between a point and a line, segment, polygon side, or vector. Use these steps:

  1. Select ebd_Ebd212  the line segment, or point and line, or pair of points as described above.
  2. Click the tab to switch from Real to Symbolic output or vice versa.
  3. Click the Distance / Length tool  in the Calculate toolbox or select Distance / Length from the Calculate menu.

Geometry Expressions displays the length, using any relevant parameters you may have specified.
